The most iniportait l,et-en'to learn

the negroes are in a majority, there
is a probability of just such a systetit

As long as the Radicals persist in
putting ill office thieves nud fools
simply ,because of their fidelity to the

to trouble. The task now before the

By this means, and this ohly, Oan the
